Westport, Connecticut and the grassy Levitt Pavilion is the site of the EcoFest 2011, which will be held this coming Saturday, June 11. This six-hour celebration is meant to educate by raising environmental awareness in the community. Festivities start at noon and fifteen bands will perform until 6pm. In between the music, 35 exhibitors will offer tips on sustainable living. These include but are not limited to the Fairfield Organic Teaching Farm, New England Smart Energy Group LLC, Alteris Renewables, Brighter Concepts of Connecticut and Sunlight Solar Energy.

The music this year is particularly varied. Performers cover such diverse musical fields as: folk-rock, alternative, classic rock, techno and singer-songwriter songs. This is the second year that EcoFest will be held at the Levitt Pavilion behind the Westport Public Library. The goal is education and inspiration to all who wish to develop a sustainable life style.

Sponsored by the Club Green at Staples and Westport’s Green Village Initiative, free admission and food are available to all who attend the event, which will showcase local green projects and initiatives.

Events like EcoFest raise awareness on a grand scale and there is no question that sustainable living is the way of the present and the future of all of us who seek to find ways to save our planet.
